Can pmr be a long term side effect of covid? it seems i started having all my pain a few days after finishing my five day course of paxlovid.. what are side effects of paxlovid?? thank you?

PMR does not compute here. Never use abbreviations in Medicine. They can be deadly. Resend question please. Major side effect of paxolovid is it decreases risks of severe COVID-19. No data yet on long COVID. Best source of info is at CDC.gov or WI CDC equivalent.

Yes, polymyalgia has been described following COVID infection with unclear contribution of Paxlovid treatment. A short course of low dose steroids may help in this context.
